When Mom was looking under the big bed today to see if Sofie was under there to get her paws bathed, she saw me instead. She said it looked like icicles under there because the box spring was shredded.

Don't look at me! I'm not the only one that sleeps under there and I don't do stuff like that because I am a good boy!

I was the only one who didn't get their nails trimmed this past week because I just knew that Mom looked different every time she came towards me with those clippers, so I would go the other way.

She finally got me tonight and sat on the floor with me on her lap. Just as she was getting ready to make that first cut, one of the Litter-Robots started going through it's cleaning cycle and startled me, so I started squirming and kicking until I scratched Mom's arm and it started bleeding.

Bad choice of rooms, but do you think she stopped? Nope! Instead, she held me a little harder, apologized for the scare, and calmed me down. It worked, and I got my manicure and pedicure.

Today I won a wrestling match with Reebok. We're each other's favorite wrestling buddies and like to make each other squeal like girls. I'm the only one that can nail him, and I did!

It all started when we were doing the huddle over a bug crawling on the floor. Reebok kept talking to it and wouldn't stop. I couldn't stand it anymore so I thought it was the perfect time to leap on top of him for some fun.

I finally let him get up and he asked me if I was hungry. I was, so he went and told Dad and then we all got an afternoon snack.

Thanks to my friends for making my birthday week fun and leaving me good wishes!

It's been cool being half of Calvin's Pals of the Week. I think I'm going to laff and laff more with my laffer now. It'll probably cause me to laff up more of those hairballs that I do, but I hear it's good for the soul.

I'm ready for Spring, even if it's not officially here for a few weeks!

Mom made us new pages today and took pictures of Reebok and I wearing a couple of the bandanas that she made. She was looking around for maybe something to hang off the points at the bottoms of them but decided a toy mouse wasn't gonna cut it!

I usually don't run away from Mom when she approaches but when I saw that "I've got something for you to wear" look in her eyes, I decided to give her a little exercise. Once I realized what I had to wear it was no big deal.

My friend LILLY was right when she noted that one of the differences between Reebok and I is that I have two white arms vs. Reebok, who wears stripes on his right arm.

We have three of those extra-wide Kitty Hoots beds. Two of them are side by side. Reebok and I are usually found on the ones that are side by side, not next to each other, but in one of them! It doesn't matter if we flatten it out, I just like to squeeze next to Reebok. Even Melody has shared a Kitty Hoots bed with Reebok.

Stray or lost kitties occasionally appear where Mom works, and there are a bunch of cat-lovers who try to trap them and get them taken care of whenever possible.

While Mom was leaving her office and walking to her car the other day, it was already dark outside and she saw a kitty under some dim lighting whose face looked like mine. She walked a little closer and called out to the kitty. You know, like "hi kitty!" The kitty looked at her for a moment and then started running away.

That's when Mom realized the kitty was a raccoon! I look like a raccoon?
